Indians aren't screening like we do. The poverty, illiteracy and different reality there would make advocating for screening impossible. Same in China probably. I think that even in Southern and Eastern Europe there is a pretty "ignorant" attitude towards cancer in general. They're all still smokers and will fry under the sun all day long if given the chance.40 years old - Diagnosed at 40Robotic Surgery Mount Sinai with Dr. Samadi Jan, 2011 complete urinary control and good erections with and without medsProstate was small, 34 grams.Final Gleason score 7 (3+4)Less than 5% of slides involved tumorTumor measured 5 mm in greatest dimension and was located in the right lobe near the apex.Tumor was confined to prostate.The apical, basal, pseudocapsular and soft tissue resection margins were free of tumor.Seminal vesicles were free of tumor.Right pelvic node - benign fibroadiopse tissue. no lymph node is identified.Left pelvic node - one small lymph node, negative for tumor (0/1)
